Fiddling with 3D..

[Naton offline]

Howdy, I just started a multi-media course, and decided to put some of my knowledge in 3DS Max to work. There's probably been way better renders posted but hey, I'm a noob so here's the Krabe I made

[MY85 offline]

That's actually a pretty good design for the Krabe for what you got there.

[Overcaffeinated Sloth offline]

Wow, that IS good. There have been a few renders, but they've never really looked done. But wow, this has some great attention to detail.

[JesusFreak offline]

Very good. The only bad thing I can see is that its too round.

[twilightchaos09 offline]

I think thats next to perfect. It just looks slightly more like a materialized Krabe. Which still looks awesome.

[Naton offline]

Thanks for the comments guys and you were right JF, I tried fixing up the roof to look more crab like. Also tried out some lighting and poses




Still trying to make the legs look less tacky, those shapes are a real pain

[MY85 offline]

Last Krabe looks a little too orange for my taste. I might have to watch an old CL episode with Krabes on the Desert sector.

[Naton offline]

Yeah, it's meant to look like it's got the desert's sun shining on it, but ended up looking like too much fake tan. I wanted to ask my 3D teacher about lighting and a few other things today, but aparantly he's found a better job a nicked off, and left us with some guy who just wants us to make chess sets...

Wow! Just as good as the show! =D

[Virus_Xana offline]

it's very good

[JeremyHopper offline]

Great job, you should be proud of it!

[JesusFreak offline]

Excellent! The legs aren't tacky. Why would you say that?

[Naton offline]

Thanks, but the current legs are pretty much quick place-holders, the real ones should look something like this..

[Naton offline]

Hey guys, I just learned how to make things move, and couldn't wait to put it to the test, and quickly threw together this little animation. If you had a chance to see it up close, you'd see limbs sticking threw one another and bending at abnormal angles, but from this angle it almost looks like walking hope sendspace is ok.

Man, what a show! xDxDxDxD

Wow, nice. I tried 3D modeling once, and I wasn't so bad myself. *coughcough*


I have a great grey sphere, if you wanna see it. xD

[JeremyHopper offline]

Wow, the updated Krabe is incredible!! The video was great too, but something I'm sure you already noticed is that it's head shouldn't be wobbling back and forth. Fantastic job!!

[Yumi Ulrich offline]

Awsome 3d pictures I myself think that they were real!

[JesusFreak offline]

I second that.

[Naton offline]

Thanks for the comments everyone You'd be right about the video JH, the wobbling's to cover up some flaws going on with the leg animation and you'd be amazed, kamekai just how fast this program opens up with nothing but a few nudges in the right direction
I wanted to have a near completed concept done by now, but I'm still obsessing over minor details in the pincers hopefully I'll be happy enough with it to post some more by tomorow.

[JeremyHopper offline]

Well it's the detail that counts.

[FènéethxAelita offline]

Wow, I've never seen a rendering this great before, (pats on shoulder)

[DarkestSoul X21 offline]

Wow nice krabe. Da** good job.

[Boss Tamsy offline]

One thing: Where's the butter?

[JesusFreak offline]

THAT'S LOBSTAS FOO!

Howdy again. I STILL don't have this finished, I'm sure everyone here knows about putting up with the thing called school work , but I did scrounge up some free time to try my hand at character creation. The results were, somewhat creepy looking.
